What about the Medieval period do you wish was still part of our culture and why?

I would want the code of chivalry to still be a part of our culture today. The one rule says to show respect to authority, that is one rule that really has been forgotten through the years. So many people disrepesct others so often that it eventually has become no big deal when in fact it is. The knights during the Medieval period had no choice but to follow these rules and be respectable men, who showed courage in word and deed. Most people now days only think about themselves and not what they can do to help others. Even the way men treated women back then is better than now days. It says he who is jelous cannot love, a very true statement, but it is so common for men and women to get jelous over something that it is overlooked in today's society. I wish that the respect that was used during the Medieval days was still used today. Not all people are disrespectful but many of the chivalry rules have been forgotten and it would be nice if some of them were brought back to today's society. If the code was still used today then just maybe there would not be as much crime and violence as there is.

That's a really good idea, to have chivalry brought back, though I disagree with your saying that women were treated better back then. Sure, there was less to be jealous about, but there's a whole big world out there for people to see and experience. I think that the advances in women's rights, and the rights of all people, are much better now than during the medieval period. ~ Noni A.
